[QUOTE="Lee, post: 217536, member: 8142"] Thank you so much to all of you who have taken the time to post advice. I feel like the Village Idiot this weekend, lol Dave, no it is just a 'regular' blower and does have a brush attached. I usually take the brush off to blow inside the camera and cannot come up with any logical reason why I failed to remove it. It was bought from a camera store as part of a cleaning kit a couple of years back and I remember picking this set because it was one of their more expensive ones so at the time I assumed that meant it was better.... :-/ Yeah I am learning through my errors after the fact I'm afraid Don't feel bad, nobody told me either ;) The camera is 7 months old and I took an extended 2 year warranty with it. Because it was me that caused the issue I accept that this is probably going to cost me. I took it with me into a camera dealer yesterday, who recommended another place that specializes in Nikon and is an 'authorized dealer' (I will verify that before doing anything and will rather just call Nikon for advice). Consider it done! I have learned my lesson the hard way! Yeah that's about to be ordered! Some of it has shifted and it is something I could probably live with in the short term for now, although it does bug me and I will eventually need to have it seen to. I am just worried that with the mirror opening and closing it could flick any debris onto the sensor. What I am going to do for now is get that rocket blower. I will have an attempt to clean it with that and keep the proper blower for all future cleaning. If the problem remains as it is and doesn't affect the picture at all, I will try live with it for a few more months and then send the camera in for a good service around a year after I've had it. I decided when I bought this one (seeing as it was my first brand new DSLR) that I would send it in for routine servicing for as long as I own it. I still feel really stupid but I am now wiser for my error. A big thank you to each and every one of you for your advice and support :) [/QUOTE]
